I'll admit that not everyone is bad at Urbis. It has unfortunately gained a bap reputation among the people that I know. My view comes from the fact it must have been 3 years ago, obviously times have changed, but my friend just went up to someone as asked if they were selling drugs. Low and behold they were and he bought some weed on the spot! I was shocked. Being the sensible person I have I haven't touched drugs. And so this ain't complete spam. Here is me and the beautiful Helen at The Ritz. 70's Love Train night. I did have a few drinks down me so excuse the picture haha

Well i've only been on Magnum Force and Bullet for Schwarzkopt loops. This Soquet ride is definately not as powerful as they were. The second loop is quite a bit smaller than the first and it powers through them. The ride is quite funny in the fact you can sit back and not touch the restraints for the entire ride. Apart from the odd headbanging which comes from the stupid helix which doesn't turn evenly... http://www.rcdb.com/ig808.htm?picture=4 That is the only position All the restraints lock in.

I steer clear of Urbis at all costs unfortanately. I can't stand the amount of posers and drugs users that gather there. I'm into all music really, Not so much Metal though.

Boosh.

I think you need to actually make these games...

They have a good selection of childrens rides left. There were about 300 people there today, 6 cars in the carpark and I spotted 3 coaches from local schools. There isn't a Round-Up there anymore. The park can't compete with Alton for thrills so they're going for the children option. Which infact doesn't make it a bad park. You'd definately have a good time there, but it's not worth a whole day, we only spent 4 and half hours there. The Twin Looper does have the backwards seats facing forward ones in the last car. It's an extremely odd ride, so much better than X:\WTF backwards haha. There are rides which adults will enjoy aswell like the Skycoaster. The park has invested quite alot this year in new rides. It's definately not on the way down in my opinion. It's just from an enthusiasts point of view, it's only good for whoring.

Yes it is a Soquet. Interesting that this used to be the Soopa Loopa at Lightwater Valley! Haha I stole a credit off the UK trip.

Well to start off with, it's a very family orientated park after they took out The Missle (Vekoma Boomerang) and the Log Flume last year, although some of the rides are quite deadly... The park also has a mediocre zoo, the animals are hauled up in tiny enclusures with concrete floors. Call PETA! My day started at 8am... I went out to the Ritz last night got back about 2.30am and fell asleep about 3am so there's 5 hours sleep for me! Anyway I got to Nottingham where Mark & André were waiting to pick me up. And Boosh, we're off. I can't exactly remember the order of things, so here's a few photos! André enjoying some time with a Digger, I opted out of this, as I discovered last year they get insanely boring after 20 seconds of messing around... Hi Derek! This is the extent of the themeing in "Digger Depot" Their SkyCoaster wasn't open, only at Weekends it seems because the children haven't broken up from school yet. I did get on it last year and it's well worth the £5. They had Chipmunks! So this park is part Elissa friendly Cute ^.^ Pine Cone of DOOM. Oh and a Duck! Strutting it's stuff This Turkey is just wrong.. Cockatoos. Cock.... Haha. This Bear has a huge hole in it's Belly! Someone call PETA. Or not as they suck. Crazy Frog? Here? Noooooooo! All together now.... You got a water gun and had to fire it through holes to make your red lights go up. Somehow I don't think the Helter Skelter is open today.... They brought back the river rapids this year, and they're really good! They have a waterfall/droppy thing so you're bound to get wet! This Horny HotDog is all like, yeh cover me in Ketchup baby! The park is actually set in some nice countryside! Viewage over to where the "Space Port" and The Missile used to be This Cactus is all threatening... Or atleast trying to be when it's made out of plastic The sexy André pulls off a model pose, kudos to me for the photography! Hurray for Circular Loops! Quite strong G's through them. We walked around the lake at the end of the day The Peacock escaped it's cage and heads for freedom! We went back to see the Chipmunks! Converse rule! So overal I actually had a very fun day at a childrens park. Saying that they have the deadliest Powered Mine Train which throws you about the car and causes general pain. They also had a new kiddie coaster this year, (+1 Credit! Ahhh i'm beginning to be like Tom) I didn't take that many photos tbo. I'm not a photo person, I prefer to get on the rides but at this park it didn't exactly matter. Rides I didn't photo: -Pirate Ship -Octopuss Ride -Wagon Wheel -4D Cinema (Which had the worst plot-line ever) -Buffalo Coaster (Powered) -Mine Train of DOOM (Powered) Hope you enjoyed the tour of the Uk's only American Themed park!

The Official "TPR 2006 UK Tour" Thread!

I think the log flume is great, get's you soaked when it's going well. November time you just get random tidal waves literally pouring into the boat the trough is that full. Also there's a woman with a vacuum cleaner waiting for take all the water out from the boat. Wish they'd do that on Valhalla tho, last time there was a good 2 inches of water! -
Lmao. Absinthe is one of THE most horrible things i've had. You can get shots at the bars and it's just.... Eugh who on earth can drink it. Anyway, I was at this 70's night at The Ritz in town last night, drinks were waaay expensive unfortunately, and my camera was busy taking shots of everyone, but I did manage a Double Vodka Lemonade, Two smirnoff ices and a WKD Blue.

They have purple and green and orange Tizer over here at the moment. I only had the purple one, and it tasted Red.

A The Ultimate. On my first ride ever I pulled the lapbar as tight as it would until it hurt my legs practically. And omg was I glad. The ride is fudging wierd. That's all I can say, it's just one of those experiences everyone should have in their life. And I CANT Believe half of you missed the skate-board things. I owned those about 4/5 years ago when I last went. Hahaha.. I really am enjoying all these updates, even though i'm slightly annoyed I didn't make it to a single park *curse exams* it's still really funny to see all these parks that I know and have been too, visited and enjoyed by so many other people! And i'm also glad that so many of you have just drooled over Nemesis. It really does deserve the praise. -

How long is the train on that crystal ride...

If you've noticed that my nose is stupid shaped. That's because some kid smashed my head into a metal fountain when I was young. Completely unprovoked. My nose as a result is half flat.. =\

Grand National has some insane airtime in places. I haven't been on the new trains, but last November it was running amazing, plus I had someone of a larger persuation sat next to me, and with the lapbar going across both people I had a good few inches to fly out of my seat. One of the only times i've grabbed a lapbar with the fear of being ejected.... I really hope the new trains are ok! -
I will never turn out like Tom haha. For a start I don't lose things 24/7 lmao. And you'll never see me posing goofy for photos! I was just gonna say Nicole, way to miss me out! Thanks for remembering Carl! 18 feels so good (In the Uk , LEGAL DRINKING)

^ Nothing wrong with being small! It means you can get into kiddie coasters easily.
